[;He was with them when we needed him, so the Black Lion took you back.;
You know how important this is to me!
'I had to be on it.'
He goes quiet. The scenario plays itself out in his mind in pieces, those he had before from Hunk. What he knows about Keith. And now silvers of his own life. One by one they fall into place to form a picture.
;We'd just gotten a new rhythm going and it was weird for all of us for you to just hang out in the castleship and run support.;
The pieces of the story he didn't allow to be written on his face then fall gently into the holes. Shiro can see the team's side of this. Their frustrations and fear. He'd been gone and Keith was supposed to make them safe and guide them. They were scared and Keith never one to share his own pain had closed off and fallen back on old habits.
Then he came back. He'd fallen back into a role he'd known was ahead of him anyway on Earth.
Keith couldn't take it. He ran like a thief into the night and ran to the one thing that he could do and do well. And he'd let him do it because he'd needed it. He can hear it in his voice. Yet he'd come back for them. For him. He'd rode right into hell and pushed through fear.
He looks at his best friend anew and sees the man he has become. The blaze of his spirit shining clearly through his eyes. He reviews all the words said between them since he was found in the Dream Width. It takes his breath away for a moment to see him. His own eyes say he knows the real story but it doesn't change a thing.
He ducks his head for a second and claps him on the shoulder.]
